MEET THE TEAM

Rochelle

Managing Director

I absolutely love my job. I so enjoy dealing with the fabulous properties that we are lucky to have in our area but more so, our clients, many of whom now ring me just for a chat about their day. I have worked in property in the area for 20 years now and I want to use my knowledge and experience to help landlords in the area let their properties and look after them as I would my own home.

Being a Fellow of ARLA Propertymark, I am well aware of the pitfalls and huge amounts of legislation that governs our industry, but being aware means I can look after your property without you having to worry – leave this to us and you can just sit back, relax and watch the rent come in.

Many agents in our area have become very corporate in their outlook and ways, which can be frustrating for landlords who just want someone they know to help them when they need it most. This is where we break the mould. Our service is bespoke to you and our flexibility and willingness to be different is what sets us apart from our competitors. If you don’t believe me, take a look at our wonderful Google or Facebook reviews and website testimonials!

One of my biggest accomplishments was being the winner of the 2013 Sunday Times Award for Best Lettings Negotiator in the UK. This was a huge honour as there were hundreds of nominees and the judging was carried out by top industry experts. Being handed the award by Karen Brady was a highlight of my career and one that I will not forget.

Well let’s start at the very beginning, back in 1993 I literally fell into a job as a trainee lettings negotiator and it was love at first sight. Now, 25 years on, I think that property is in my blood. My career in lettings began working for a London based independent agency. I quickly made my way up the ranks and within a few years was the Manager for my company’s flagship office in Ealing Broadway.

In 2005, I moved from London to Hertfordshire and became the lettings manager of a multi award winning local independent company. I was able to instil my principles and work ethics into the business which created an incredibly successful and forward thinking team. Being a Member of ARLA Propertymark and using the skills and experience gained over the years I have become the go-to person for not only property valuations but advising investors on purchases and all other aspects of lettings.

There have been many highlights over the years but I guess on a personal note, being voted the Best Lettings Manager in the UK by the prestigious Sunday Times Awards is hard to beat. To be recognised in this way is something I remain incredibly proud of and really does prove that passion, dedication and the will to succeed can help you achieve the highest of goals.

I love property and I love people so being able to combine the two in a career makes coming to work a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. As a fully independent agent, I am able to provide a flexible and bespoke service to all my clients which makes Latham Smith stand out from the crowd.

If you require any advice or would just like to chat anything property, please feel free to give me a call.
